Kill Switch

v1.0 · Updated 2 weeks ago

Kill Switch

The kill switch blocks all network traffic that does not go through the VPN tunnel. This prevents data leaks during connection drops.

Enabling

  • On the Status page, toggle the Kill Switch on
  • Or select Kill Switch from the tray menu

Allowed traffic

Disabling

Toggle the kill switch off — all firewall rules are removed immediately.

Important: If the app crashes with the kill switch active, the firewall rules persist and internet is blocked. They are automatically cleaned up on the next app launch.
